It is also impossible to collect statistics showing of what diseases college men die, but it is probable that there is no disease in anyway peculiar to them. One fifth of the community die of contagious diseases, but from these college men suffer very little. From small pox no intelligent community need suffer. A vaccination in early life, however, does not retain its virtue always, and if there are men in college who have not been vaccinated since thirteen or four-teen they had better be so now.

Brown University will suffer a serious loss in the resignation of its president, Dr. E. G. Robinson, who will withdraw from the presidency of the University at the end of the present college year.

...offenders, to the expedients of school boy days; yet it is eminently proper that some mode of expressing displeasure of the student's action should be found. The most common way is loss of the first few minutes of the examination. But this mode of punishment makes suffer an entire room full of men, since one cannot settle down to work while even a slight amount of bustle or confusion is going on around him. Consequently we hope that every one who has not already handed in blue books will do so before the day set for his individual examinations...
